Common questions
Why does old Riesling smell of petrol?
With age, a natural compound in Riesling can develop an aroma often described as petrol or kerosene. It is a recognised feature of mature Riesling, not a fault.
Is Riesling sweet?
Not always. Many Rieslings are dry, especially from Alsace, Australia and German wines labelled trocken. Others are off dry or sweet, so check the label and ABV.
